High expression of ring finger protein 115 contributes to the progression of colorectal cancer via WNT/ β-catenin pathway
ConclusionRNF115 was highly expressed in human CRC tissues and cell lines and correlated with poor prognosis. RNF115 contributed to the growth of CRC cells via mediating cell cycle and colony formation, and also induced the apoptosis of CRC cells via targeting WNT/ β-catenin pathway. RNF115 could serve as a target for CRC treatment. (Source: Molecular and Cellular Toxicology)

Sensitive-stage embryo irradiation affects embryonic neuroblasts and adult motor function
ConclusionEmbryonic NBs survived irradiation at doses as high as 40  Gy, while cells in other parts of the embryos underwent apoptosis at doses higher than 3 Gy within 2 h after treatment. Three hours after exposure to a minimum dose of 3 Gy, the number of NBs marked by Dpn and Klu decreased, and the surviving adults exhibited defects in locomotor ability.
